When my husband and I were first going out, we passed by the window of a Games Workshop one day. He told me he used to play War Hammer 40,000 when he was younger and that his chosen race/species or whatever you call it was the Eldar (that's "space elves" to you and me).
I'd never played War Hammer, but I thought it would be funny to see if he could guess what race I always hypothetically figured I'd play with if I did. Just to see how well he knew me at this early stage in our relationshi- "Orcs," he said. Without me even finishing the sentence. Guess he knew me pretty well after all!

As a child, I was fascinated by a big book called Oceans & Islands, especially the drawings of the weird and wonderful sea life. I've sill got the book and dusted it off the other day to make reference sketches for this piece. I think there's also some of Dead Space and The Thing in there too though. There's definitely something extra-terrestrial going on, at least.

I finished making another lot of coffin-shaped purses. I really liked the lining I used for this set; it's a sort of black, white and grey ornate flower and eyeball pattern. These purses are available to buy from my online shop.
